Shailene Woodley In Stella McCartney – ‘Divergent’ London Premiere

Shailene Woodley joined Kate Winslet on the red carpet for the London premiere of ‘Divergent’ held at the Odeon Leicester Square on Sunday (March 30).

After taking a mannish time-out during CinemaCon, she was back to wearing a beautiful gown this evening; selecting a capri-blue Stella McCartney lace accented design graced with a compelling femininity.

The body-skimming gown which features a low v-shaped neckline, for added allure, cut-out detailing at the back and an elegant fishtail hemline was simple styled with her favourite gold pendant necklace and a gold Lina Noel armlet.

I think this is lovely on her and agree she seems to be happy wearing it. That said, it is not really what I would have chosen for her. Too lingerie and too old. She needs some more youthful fun gowns–her non-gown choices have been great, but the gowns have skewed a little too old. Not looking for fussy girly things, just a more youthful look.

I don’t like this dress on her, but I can see it on someone like Julia Roberts or Sandra Bullock (in other words, someone about two decades older). Not too fond of the effect created by the neckline…it almost looks like she’s wearing a gown on top of a slip dress, since the two sets of “straps” are separated.

Seems to be a common problem with young actresses these days. The only few wearing interesting fashion forward stuff are actresses in their late 30s and over 40. Younger generation, like Jennifer Lawrence for example, are making careers out of being ‘quirky’, yet their stylists never once put something quirky and original on them. They always wear dresses women twice their age would wear on a talk show or something.

Lawrence does look twice her age and over the top, especially in Dior. Kristen Stewart, however, is an exception that never ceases to surprise me. 99% of her red carpet/events outfits are to die for. Her stylist really knows her trade.
